Prince George, BC – The Prince George Cougars announced Sunday the acquisition of 20-year old defenceman Sena Acolatse from the Saskatoon Blades. In return, the Blades get a third round pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft.

Acolatse, a 5’11”, 207 pound product of Edmonton, Alberta, was acquired by the Blades during the 2009-10 season, after starting his fourth campaign with the Seattle Thunderbirds. Acolatse collected 16 goals and 19 assists for 35 points last season. In 256 career regular season games in the WHL since 2006, Acolatse has collected a total of 30 goals and 61 assists for 91 points, while adding 373 penalty minutes.

Acolatse will join the Cougars Monday and will be in the line-up when the Cougars face the Kootenay Ice Wednesday night in Cranbrook.

Cougars have been busy the last few days with O/A signings

COUGARS ADD TAYLOR STEFISHEN

Prince George, BC – The Prince George Cougars are pleased to announce the addition of 20-year old forward Taylor Stefishen to the roster.

Stefishen was a sixth round pick of the Cougars in the 2005 Western Hockey League Bantam draft, selected 112th overall. The 6’0”, 185 pound product of North Vancouver, BC, joins the Cougars after playing two seasons of NCAA Division I hockey with the Ohio State Buckeyes of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. In 40 games at Ohio State, Stefishen collected eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points and had 14 penalty minutes. Stefishen was selected by the Nashville Predators in the fifth round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, 136th overall.

“Adding Taylor to the roster gives us experience and depth to our forward group,” said Cougars General Manager Dallas Thompson. “We feel Taylor can make an impact for our team and we look forward to seeing Taylor in a Cougars uniform.”

“It’s very exciting to join a team like the Cougars, with great management and players,” said Stefishen. “I think I can bring some leadership being an older guy and from what I have learned in the NCAA. I think I will bring some added skill and grit to the team which is the kind of player I am.”

Stefishen will join the Cougars in Cranbrook when the Cougars face-off with the Kootenay Ice Wednesday night.

Dallas Thompson wouldn't do something that would come back to haunt the team and fans would he? Anytime I see a press release from him I throw up in my mouth a little.

I would imagine they have been working this new guy hard. Though he has to realize that if he is 20 and still playing NCAA without a sniff of playing pro yet, he needs to go somewhere that will give him a fighting chance to understand what travel and a 72+ game sched is like.
